Paul, Go to Control Panel / System and on the Advanced tab click on Startup and Recovery "Settings" button. In the system failure section, take the check mark out of auto restart. This will not fix the problem, but it will prevent the auto restart and allow a blue screen to become visible. Part of the text you should see is a Stop 0xxxxxxxxxxx (numbers will vary). You will also see a short_pharse_with_the_underscore. After that you might see the name of a file with a .drv, .sys, or .exe file extension. Post as much of this information as you can and someone may be able to advise you further.
